Motorists in Ottawa will soon need to brace for a significant road closure affecting the eastbound on-ramp at Parkdale for almost four months this summer.
Time might be running out this summer for keeping Ottawa's Queen Elizabeth Driveway (QED) clear of cars seven days a week to make way for bike users, runners and pedestrians but debate over the future of the active use program has entered a spirited new cycle.
OTTAWA The City of Ottawa is taking the next step towards turning the rundown Prince of Wales Bridge into a multi-use pathway for cyclists and pedestrians over the Ottawa River. Council approved a motion from Mayor Jim Watson and Councillor Jeff Leiper to spend $540,000 for an environmental assessment and design work for an interprovincial multi-use pathway. It would be a great alternative for cyclists and pedestrians to use that to go into Gatineau, Watson said during Wednesday s Council meeting, adding Gatineau s mayor is supportive of the plan. Councillor Theresa Kavanagh told Council that she has been waiting 20 years for a multi-use pathway on the Prince of Wales Bridge.
